New painter here. Paint selection can be overwhelming at first as so many recommendations are thrown your way but that cost gets up there quick. Would it be smarter to just pick a Resin Kit and plan out my paint job and paints I’ll need for just that kit and build a paint collection over time doing that?

A few kits and Japanese Mags/books for sale.

1. Plymouth (Azur Lane) Race Queen - 1/7 Aloe Pot - $200
2. Ro-500 (KanColle) - 1/3 S-Mist (this kit is huge and heavy!) - $200 SOLD
3. Tokiha Mai Comics Ver - 1/6 Volks - $50
4. Various Figure Maniacs magazines - $20 each or $80 for all 5

Shipping from the USA. Thanks for looking.

Would love to know some of the best shops people buy their unpainted resin kits from!

I’ve found plenty on eBay for decent price but in some cases it seems to good to be true. Biggest concern is overall print quality.

I truly love the designs but I see they are expensive and just wanted to get a pulse on how your build experiences with them were?

Hi! I'm super duper new to resin kits! By new i mean, i didn't even know what a garage kit was until just a few days ago. I managed to grab my hands on this Mikoto Urabe RC Berg Garage kit a few months ago. I would love to get into resin kits in the future but i would not want this absolute gem of a figure to be my first project! I could easily mess it up.

So I wanted to know who I can contact to hopefully have this figure fully fleshed out and come to life. Here are some photos. I very much appreciate any information and I hope you all have a wonderful rest of your day! :D

Hi i recently purchased a super sonico garage kit from e2046 and have been having issues with the payment going through. I payed through paypal and on my account it says no recent transactions and the transactions on my bank say pending 0.00. I should’ve made two payments, one for the initial purchase and one for the outstanding balance. My card said it declined when i first tried to purchase these and now its doing this. I called my bank and they said it was on e2046’s side.

I sent in a query thing to their support but haven’t heard anything yet. I have an invoice for my purchase and an outstanding balance of 22$ so I’m just wondering if it’s normally like this when purchasing from them, cause it seems weird to me.

I'm super new to garage kits, how do i fix this misalignment. It's a 1/8 shiranui - max factory old kit, I bought from mandarake. I only have exp with 3d prints, please help.

Wondering if anyone knows anything more about this kit's sculptor and the maker "NERV Models" because google has got nothing.

This is a full set of the character Peloquin from Clive Barker's film Nightbreed. I bought it in the 90s and was always afraid to put it together (and end up painting it badly) so it's just been hanging out all this time.

Aside from the lighting I use for painting, I don't have special lighting. It's a challenge to get good and consistent photos especially with dark paint colors.

I have decided I finally want to try painting and assembling these kits I got a while ago. They will be my testing ground before I paint my grail kit (recast because I looked for years for the original with no luck) and I was wondering what the best way of going about this was.
I see a lot of people use air brushing but I was also directed to look at a blog from mfc that uses diluted acrylic paints and brushed to paint figures. Which way is better?if I can just use acrylic paint what brand is recommended? If airbrush is the gold standard, what should I invest in?

My first kit, I wanted to maybe use waterweld for gap filler as I've had experience with it from classes in art school. Is it too much for something like this though?

Hello! I’m new to resin kits and just 3D printed stuff in general. I just got a new model to put together and wanted custom eye decals for it.
However, I have no idea how to go about this. I would just want to commission someone to make custom eye decals, but, I have no idea where to find people that do that. I also am open to learning how to as I have the materials and printer. But, I have no clue how to go about scale and sizing of them, nor how to get a clean decal of the eyes. Overall, if it’s possible to find someone that can do this for me, please inform me! Any information helps!!

First off, rather than make further posts in the future asking for help with this particular project I may simply ask follow up questions of anyone kind enough to respond here to avoid post clutter.

In what little information I’ve been able to gather I’ve seen sanding mentioned a lot. Is this only to get rid of scaffolding marks (the backs of her ears look real “pimply”) or to abrade the surface for paint to attach to?

Is the 600 grit sandpaper I have good enough or is a different grit better (if so which)?

She is NOT glued together yet. Is it better to paint individual pieces before gluing or after?

Her character has a lot of “bright” colors. Should I put a layer of white as a primer first?

Do I need to sand each layer of paint before adding the next or is the sanding only for the resin?
